Spectrum and Resources Management, Engineering and Programmatic Support (SpectRE) Services Maximum Ordering Value Increase and Ordering Period End-date Extension
Solicitation # 80HQTR21D0003
NASA Headquarters intends to extend the ordering period and increase the maximum ordering value of the Spectrum and Resources Management, Engineering and Programmatic Support (SpectRE) services contract (80HQTR21D0003) awarded to Agile Decisions Services, LLC (ADS). The extension will add one year to the ordering period, moving the end date to March 31, 2027, and will increase the maximum ordering value by 22,342,052.00 dollars. Originally awarded in February 2021 as a hybrid Cost-Plus-Fixed Fee and Firm-Fixed Price IDIQ contract with an initial value of 68,000,000.00 dollars, the contract provides professional expertise in regulation management, budget formulation, and general program support. This action is being pursued through other than full and open competition because ADS possesses critical knowledge and insight essential for the uninterrupted delivery of services. These services include general spectrum management, compatibility analysis, and support for extraterrestrial missions and orbital debris management, which are vital for NASA to maintain its leadership in national spectrum management and support the U.S. commercial space communications industry. NASA does not intend to conduct a follow-on procurement for these services and is utilizing FAR 6.103-1 authority for this extension.
